he emphasized the church's strong stand in favor of immigration reform. these have always been the church's position for universal health care, for immigration reform. but i think the emphasis of that interview was in a somewhat more progressive direction than i think an interview with cardinal dolan might have been a year ago and i think that's important. >> it is so interesting because we were talking about this in the break or before we came on the air, bob. here you have a pope that seems to be getting so much acclaim here in the states and the catholic church hasn't exactly been particularly powerful. he met today with benjamin netanyahu. they talked about the iranian nuclear program, israeli-palestinian peace process. last week he was with individvl putin. is he turning out to be a power player beyond the catholic church? >> to an old catholic school kid, this is really shocking. folks in general just seem to really love this pope. but i think that one of the things in a broad sense that's going on here, and remains to be seen whether he'll succeed
